Author's Note: I know I know I need to update more often, but I've been busy! Anyway I noticed that today is Sodapop's birthday! So in honor of one of our favorite greasers here is an update! Happy Birthday Soda! And Enjoy!

I heard a small whimpering the next morning and knew it was Bella. She wakes up at the same time everymorning. I rolled out of bed and walked down the hall to her bedroom. She was laying there just talking away.

"Good morning Bella." I said and she smiled big. I picked her up out of her crib and walked out into the living room. Johnny was asleep on the couch which wasn't a suprise at all. I walked into the kitchen and set Isabella in her high chair.

"Are you hungry?" I asked her and she started talking away. I smiled at her and she smiled back and kept on talking. I walked over the cabinet and pulled out a jar of baby food and the baby cereal. I poured some water in with the cereal and mixed it then mixed in the baby food. Bella was still happily sitting in her high chair blowing spit bubbles and talking away.

I sat down and started feeding her. She ate most of it with out a problem but then she decided it wold be fun to try and blow spit bubbles with the baby food. That didn't go so well. Baby food went everywhere, all over both of us. I started laughing and she smiled and started laughing too. I set the bowl of food down and grabbed a wash cloth and wiped us off.

"Mornin' Darry." Soda said walking into the "And good morning Izzy." He said tickling her.

"Hey Soda you wanna finish feeding her while I start breakfast?" I asked

"Sure!" He said and grabbed the food and started feeding her. I got in the fridge and got out the eggs and bacon, and chocolate cake.

I couldn't help but laugh at the sight before me when I closed the fridge. "Soda I thought you were gonna feed the baby."

"I was but she started spittin' it all over!" He said trying to give her another bite, she then spit it everywhere. "Alright Izzy this is the last bite how about we eat it." Soda told her, giving her the bite and she ate it. Soda sighed a sigh of relief, just as she spit the food everywhere and started laughing.

"You might want this." I said handing him a wash cloth. He cleaned himself and Bella up while I started breakfast.

"There that's better." Soda said lifting her out of her chiar.

"You wanna wake Pony up?" I asked

"Sure!" He said and walked down the hall way to his and Pony's room

Soda POV

I walked down the hallway with Izzy to me and Pony's room. He was sprawled out in the middle of the bed fast asleep when we walked in.

"Ready Izzy?" I asked my baby neice and she said something in her baby jibberish. I held her right over Pony's face and said "Wakey wakey."

Pony jumped when he saw Izzy and I started laughing. She started laughing too because I was. I lifted her back up and Pony got out of bed.

"Jeez Soda you scared me half to death" He said walking to our closet and putting on a pair of jeans.

"Izzy wanted to wake her uncle Pony up, isn't that right Izzy?" I asked, tickling her making her laugh.

"Darry's almost done with breakfast." I told him as he got dressed.

"Alright I'll be out in a few." He said and Izzy and I walked back to the living room.

Darry was still making breakfast and Johnny, who was on the couch, was awake.

"There's the munchkin!!" Two-bit said walking out of the kitchen with his normal breakfast, beer and cake. Izzy smiled when she saw him and Two-bit held her and took her in the living room.

Darry POV

"Two-bit don't give my kid any cake or beer!" I shouted to him as he took Bella into the living room.

"Yeah yeah." He said sitting down, with her.

"I mean it!" I told him as I set a plate of eggs on the table. He just ignored me and kept on watching TV and eating his breakfast.

Soda and Johnny started eating and Pony came out into the kitchen when Steve and Dally walked in.

We all ate breakfast with little chaos. Two-bit gave Bella cake even though I told him not to, and Dally and Steve had a wrestling match in the living room. Other than that everything was calm.

"You guys better get movin' or you're gonna be late for school." I said. Two-bit, Johnny, Pony, and Steve all got up and headed for the door.

"See y'all later." Two-bit said and the other three followed him. Dallas got up a minute later and left to do what ever he does.

Not long after Mrs. Mathews pulled up to the house. "Morning Mrs. Mathews." I said getting off of the floor where Soda and I were playing with Bella.

"Good Morning Darrel." She said with a smile "Good Morning Soda."

"Mornin' Mrs. M." He said wandering off to find his shoes.

"And good morning Isabella." She said picking Bella up off the floor. Bella was getting used to Mrs. Mathews quickly, which was good.

"Alright baby I'll see you later." I told her and kissed the top of her head before walking out the door with Soda to a long day at work.

"Curtis!" My boss called to me "You got a phone call."

I didn't know exactally what to think, but I was worried. What if somthing happened. Was it Bella? Pony? Soda? Or something else all together? I walked in the office and picked up the phone.

"Hello?" I asked

"Darrel, oh good." It was Mrs. Mathews.

"Mrs. Mathews? What's wrong?" I asked

"It's nothing to worry about dear but Isabella feels a little hot and isn't being her normal self. I think she might be coming down with something." She said and I could hear Bella kind of whimpering in the back ground.

"I'll be there in 15 minutes." I said and hung up the phone.

I walked over to where my boss was standing, "I have to leave my daughter is sick." I told him and kept walking.

"Curtis!" He shouted after me. "Darrel!"

"Look Mr. Richards, my baby is sick." I turned around and told him. "You know how it is. You have kids." I said. The semi angered look he had on his face vanished.

"Well what are you still doing here go!" He said, I gave him a small smile and rushed out the door and to my truck.

I got home with in a few minutes. I walked inside the house and Mrs. Mathews was holding Bella, bouncing her and rubbing her back. Bella wasn't really crying but whimpering softly. Mrs. Mathews was whispering to her trying to calm her down.

"Hey" I said to Mrs. Mathews. Bella lifted her head up when she heard me. She said something in her little jibberish and I grabbed her from Mrs. Mathews. She laid her head down on my shoulder and I started rubbing her back. "It's ok, daddy's got you." I whispered to her.

Mrs. Mathews smiled at me, and I returned the smile. "Thanks." I told her. "I have the rest of the day off, you can go home."

She nodded, "You know Darrel, you are a really great dad." She told me.

I smiled at her. "Thanks, Mrs. Mathews."

She grabbed her purse and headed towards the door. "I'll let Two-bit know if I need you to watch her tomorrow." I told her.

"Alright dear. I'll see you guys later." She said and walked out the door.

I found the number to the doctors office and called. Bella wouldn't let me set her down so I held and bounced her the whole time. The doctor said he had enough time to fit us in today, so I got a diaper bag ready and put a jacket on Bella. She was still in her PJs. I hadn't gotten her dressed before I left for work and Mrs. Mathews must have decided not to get her dressed since she wasn't feeling well.

I grabbed the diaper bag and Bella and walked out to the car. I put her in her seat and we drove off to the doctors.
